I am going to tell Captain Kirk you said that!! I always thought 3348s ( the 3340s disk module) looked a lot like the Starship Enterprise. Also, when I was an operator, more than once did I get my fingers jammed between two 2311 drives that "walked" too close to each other. Each 2311 drive was a single top loading cabinet that shook a lot when its heads did big seek operations: and often walked a bit. - Phil Steele -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gerhard Postpischil Sent: Monday, 9 July 2007 2:07 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Looking for sample TRANSMIT output files

Also IIRC, IEBCOPY treated them just like any other DASD device. The 2311, 2314, and both models of 3330 had top loading disks. I wouldn't call either version of the 3340 similar, as it was in a sealed enclosure, with a handle, we (ir)reverently referred to as a chamber pot. IEBCOPY suffers from a design decision made at the beginning of its life - it has a built-in table of device characteristics and other constants, as I found out when I investigated why the MVS 3.8j version was getting errors processing 3390 PDSs. So the specific DASD supported depends highly on the version of IEBCOPY; there is the additional problem that IBM chose to re-use one of the type values (20.04 is used for the 9345 as well as one of the older units), so no one copy will support all extant devices.
